Answer:

Lactose is found in animal milk is lactase is the enzyme that is required to digest it.

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide made of glucose and galactose units. This sugar is naturally present in animal milk and it is digested (broken in its units) by the lactase enzyme.

Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies is not able to produce the enzyme. If they ingest dairy products it may cause health issues. Nowadays it is possible to purchase the lactase enzyme and ingest it with a dairy food to avoid any health effects.

Mass and energy can not be created or destroyed, they may be able to just be converted, and neither one seems without the opposite. For this reason in closed systems, both mass and energy are conserved individually. " I hope this helps "

A weak bond called a ______ bond results from an attraction between a slightly positive region in a molecule and a slightly nega

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: The weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc..

They are of two types:

Polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond.

In this bond, a dipole is created. More electropnegative atom will have a slight negative charge and less electronegative atom will have a slight positive charge. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc..

Hence, the weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.

gThe mole fraction of potassium nitrate in an aqueous solution is 0.0194. The solution's density is 1.0627 g/mL. What is the mol

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

0.595 M

Explanation:

The number of moles of water in 1L = 1000g/18g/mol = 55.6 moles of water.

Mole fraction = number of moles of KNO3/number of moles of KNO3 + number of moles of water

0.0194 = x/x + 55.6

0.0194(x + 55.6) = x

0.0194x + 1.08 = x

x - 0.0194x = 1.08

0.9806x= 1.08

x= 1.08/0.9806

x= 1.1 moles of KNO3

Mole fraction of water= 55.6/1.1 + 55.6 = 0.981

xA= mole fraction of solvent

xB= mole fraction of solute

nA= number of moles of solvent

nB = number of moles of solute

MA= molar mass of solvent

MB = molar mass of solute

d= density of solution

Molarity = xBd × 1000/xAMA ×xBMB

Molarity= 0.0194 × 1.0627 × 1000/0.981 × 18 × 0.0194×101

Molarity= 20.6/34.6

Molarity of KNO3= 0.595 M

Which compound is expected to exhibit hydrogen bonding forces?

Likurg_2 [28]

A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F) experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby. examples h20
